When giving a breastfeeding baby a bottle, registered nurse Kirsten Lise Andersen recommends, that you always use a bottle nipple with a slow flow. This is because breastfed babies are used to working for the milk during breastfeeding since it is harder for the baby to suck out milk from a breast than a bottle. The flow rate must reflect the flow from the breast. If it is too easy for the baby, he or she might start to get lazy or even refuse the breast.

It should take approx. 15-20 minutes to finish a bottle. If it is much faster you should consider a slower flow, and if it is much slower you should consider a faster flow.

The baby is gulping.

The baby is coughing.

The baby is choking.

The baby is swallowing too much air.

The baby becomes impatient or aggravated when eating.

It takes longer than 15-20 minutes to finish a bottle or the baby falls asleep during eating.

Round nipple in natural rubber latex

Designed with an anti-colic function

The round nipple promotes a similar tongue placement and sucking technique when breastfeeding, since the round shape allows the sides of the tongue to elevate and cup around the nipple, just like it does during breastfeeding. This also prevents “nipple”-confusion if you are both breastfeeding and supplementing with a bottle.

The nipple is equipped with an anti-colic valve, that lets out air which reduces air swallowed while feeding.

The nipple is produced from natural rubber latex. Since natural rubber latex is a natural material, colour variation may occur.
